Hi, I'm a complete linux newbie, let alone wine, easy-peasy and netbooks. Having said that, I'm looking at buying the eee pc 701 sd and putting easy-peasy on it. However the reason I need a netbook is to run a cricket scoring program that is only available in windows. I didn't want to fork out for the netbook until I knew the cricket software will run, so I tried the following: 1. installed vmware on my home pc 2. installed easy-peasy in the virtual machine 3. then installed wine, again in the vm I then tried to install the cricket program but it wouldn't install, let alone run. I get an error message that says error in "setodbcfolders". Am I right in thinking this is because it's running in a virtual machine? I know it's a little perverse to install vmware to run linux, to then run wine, to run a windows program but like I say, this program must be able to run on whatever netbook I buy. Can anybody help me please? Maybe by trying out the software for me or by giving some advice on how to get the software installed? Here's a link to the cricket software: http://www.pitchpad.com/PitchPadPavilion.exe Thanks very much, Barnaby
